  • Reflection

    This semester, I have been working on my capstone project, which emphasizes street photography. Starting the project, I had just bought my own camera, so for the first month, most of my photography involved learning all the camera settings.

    During my photographing session at Highlands Hammock, I wanted to experiment with abstract photography shooting some photos with the camera’s onboard black and white profile and settings.

    Vision and Strategy My final vision for this project is to learn more about street photography and to find interesting compositions in mundane places. My goal is to find and show the art of everyday events. I must go to many places and shoot things from different angles and perspectives to develop this idea. I…

  • Photography Genres and Photographers

    Beginning the semester, we were tasked with choosing two photography genres that interested us and wanted to explore further. From there, we would research notable photographers from each genre and discuss why their work was impactful and what we would like to learn from them. The two genres I chose to explore were street photography…
